Trumpeter Swan

Cygnus buccinator

Description:

What an amazing spotting for my son (6) and I this evening! We we so lucky to see these trumpeter swans and their young.

Habitat:

Marsh area south of Audubon Area

Notes:

By 1933, only 66 trumpeter swans remained in the continental United States, mainly in remote parts of the Rocky Mountains and Alaska. Nearly 100 years passed before trumpeter swans were seen again in the Michigan wilds. The 2000 count of trumpeter swans in Michigan exceeded 400 individuals, - DNR
